1/3

Today in Religion class we were learning about Judaism. 

We got onto the topic of the Holocaust and my professor began talking about the fact that 1/3 of the Jewish population was killed by the end of WWII. 

That thought in itself was pretty mind blowing to me and then she began to say that our generation would know how that feels.

Wait. What?

I had to think about it for a second. She caught me off guard at first. 

She continued by saying that because of abortions 1/3 of our generation has been killed. Wow. 

Now, I have heard that before more than once, but it hit me like a brick wall today. As I sat there in my seat, the comparison of what happened during the Holocaust and what is going on in America today concerning abortion plagued my mind. Something different happened. 

A head on collision took place in my heart. It's hard to explain.

After saying that she paused for a second and looked around at the class. 

There was complete silence. No one said a word. 

I was not surprised by the silence and blank stares. People are so quick to remember how horrible the Holocaust was and yes, it was a horrific event in history, but there is an ongoing Holocaust in our country that is constantly on the rise.

I just can't seem to shake this one. 

I want my heart to break for the things that break His heart.
